Fungal brain abscesses

• Aspergillus species: first line treatment voriconazole
• Scedosporium apiospermum: associated with immunocompetent patients after drowning
• Cladophialophora bantiana (dematiaceous mold)
• Ochroconis gallopava (dematiaceous mold)
• Exserohilum rostratum (dematiaceous mold)
• Mucorales species (Mucor circinelloides): associated with mycotic aneurysms and infarcts
• Fusarium species (although causing CNS infections in the form of bilateral endophthalmitis, does not really causes brain abscess)
